On your mark...

  4. Dear Annie ~~ Hope did well and is a beautiful girl, no wonder you are proud of her.
    I apologize for being so lond replying to your comments. I have not been well, hurt my back some and the toe gave more trouble, but I am OK now and my brother Peter is coming 1000
    miles to stay. That will lift my spirits. Also he gets to try out the high mattress - I am so short now
    I am glad you liked the Women's Worth story, and the jokes. Have you found a cat to bathe? I enjoyed reading your posts, the twin goats are priceless and
    I love the names you give your animals. You are a fun lady I think. Glad I made it to your blog roll.
    I do enjoy my crazy clocks - the cuckoo misses occasionally and has no idea what time it is. I do have normal clocks, but can hardly see them and rely on my watch which only comes off to shower. Take care my dear friend. Much love, Merle.

  6. Scarlet -- Doesn't she just look like a natural athlete? We're quite proud of her.

    Merle -- Never worry about commenting. Just get to it when you can. I know you have not had all the best luck lately. Glad Peter is coming to check on his sis.

    Chatty Crone -- Well all the kids don't love field day. I certainly did NOT. But this grandchild is definitely our athlete and dare devil. She loves a challenge. I'm glad the ones who worked hard won ribbons and they didn't make everyone a winner. It certainly would not have been fair when I was a kid for me to get a ribbon when I obviously wouldn't have worked for it by practicing like Hope did.

  7. Congratulations to Hope. I know it's the good bloodline that produced such a talented girl. Your timing is appreciated as I just spent all day at a JR High track meet. I guess when you've given up on kids in general, you only need to go to a huge jr high trackmeet. Neat, well behalved kids who mostly are just there to participate.

  8. Cliff -- I wish I could claim she got some of that from our side of the family but her dad gets to claim her athletic ability. She would only inherit "couch potato" from us.
